MX Linux Forum

i have installed MX-21.1_x64 on my notebook.
i have made a live usb with balena etcher.
thank i have choose on the booting process under GRUB UEFI USB disk. the same is listed but without UEFI.
MX choose ESP as GRUB.
in the boot option is

ro quiet nosplash video=SVIDEO-1:d i915.invert_brightness=1

booting is low

when i start Firefox it needs ca. 2-3 Minutes.

i have an ASUS X541U notebook with i3, 8GB Ram and 1TB HDD

sadly everything is to low.

Please run quick system info. Find it in the menu, put the whole output in a reply. Thanks.

Boot Mode: UEFI

Did you check the iso md5sum? Did you check the stick md5sum? If you have a bad iso or a bad "burn" then that can also cause weird issues. Make sure the md5sum (or sha, whatever you use) pans out.

to add ... and after you have confirmed the integration check (checksum or signature check) went ok, as just proposed.
Please do boot from LiveUSB twice in both boot modes BIOS/legacy and also UEFI:

Within Boot Option list (Press Fn-key may be F12 or F10 at boot-up POST)
and do select
first time:
* LiveUSB (without UEFI)

and also next boot:
* LiveUSB with UEFI.

In both cases and if booted successfully do post "Quick System Info"
from running LiveUSB.

Though you didn't use nomodeset, intel drivers are not loaded :

That's shown in the QSI, b/c someone recommend video= parameter, which prevents loading KMS driver.
Suggets to gather first information from LiverUSB, to reduce confusion (as it appears to happend with other 70post's confusing thread.
Thanks

"Me" :D

For the same complaint: "booting takes so long time". .. But, in the other thread they were ok with these , same parameters ..

i add it now. the parameters are now

ro quiet nosplash video=SVIDEO-1:d i915.invert_brightness=1

sadly it is slow still now. to open one app takes a lot time. 2 apps at one time is very bad.

We're asking every time.

Quick System Info. Run it from the menu, paste in a reply.
